Canadian Colleges: Immigration Minister

Student Partners Dept: Canada already has 50,000 students from China and a new program is intended to attract more. iStock Immigration minister Jason Kenney says the government hopes to attract more students from China to Canadian colleges through a new Student Partners Program, according to CBC. "International students bring with them new ideas and experiences and contribute both financially and culturally to the communities and institutions where they study," Kenney said in a news release and the federal government wants to attract more Chinese students to Canadian community colleges, technical institutes and polytechnics to add to the 50,000 already studying here. The program aims to expedite student visa applications for students applying from participating countries and colleges. In order to have their visa application processed under the program, students must submit certain documentation and allow colleges to report on their attendance at classes. As reported in the news.
